1. You can only vote for albums (or EPs or splits) of newly-recorded studio material that was released in the United States in 2012. This should pretty much be a given at this point

2. You still need 10 albums to get full credit for your #1. If you vote for 5 albums, your #1 is worth 5.

3. The new multiplier is as follows: if an album receives three or more votes, each voter gives two bonus points to that album. For example, an album given a 3rd, 5th, and 10th by three different voters would earn 8 points for the 3rd, 6 points for the 5th, 1 point for the 10th, and an additional 6 points (2 times 3) for the voter quantity multiplier. Algebra can be fun when metal is involved.

4. Please refrain from posting your top 50 or whatever here, and from posting images of the albums you're voting for. Start your own damn threads for that, it'll just clog the page if you do it here.

5. There is no "metal only" rule, as decided by the Metal Setlists electorate. Diversify if you wish.

6. Have fun and don't be afraid to argue. That's the point of this whole charade.

NOTE: If you've already started a thread of your own, still cast your vote in here or it won't count. I'm not gonna hunt and peck all over the board for your list.

If you have any questions, feel free to post em here.

You have until January 11th, 2012 to get 'em in!

OMG WHAT A NEW LIST FOR 2012!

THE METALSETLISTS.COM BEST OF LIST FOR EP'S!

Same rules as the main voting, but this is only for EP's and you can only submit 5. Remember - you can still include EP's on your main top 10 if they're really that good, but the EP list is for EP's only!

OKAY GO

1. You can only vote for albums (or EPs or splits) of newly-recorded studio material that was released in the United States in 2011.I'm pretty sure you meant 2012.

1. Rocka Rollas - Conquer(by far the best EP of the year; if you've never heard this EP, listen immediately!)
2. Unisonic - Ignition
3. Air Raid - Danger Ahead
4. Havok - Point of No Return (only adding this so the others get more points; this wasn't very good)

I was considering not even posting a list this year since I haven't even listened to half the albums I planned on listening to. But I'll just post it anyway.

1. Fiona Apple- The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do
2. Converge- All We Love We Leave Behind
3. Baroness- Yellow and Green
4. The Corin Tucker Band- Kill My Blues
5. Bob Mould- Silver Age
6. The Men- Open Your Heart
7. Pig Destroyer- Book Burner
8. Japandroids- Celebration Rock
9. The Menzingers- On the Impossible Past
10. Screaming Females- Ugly

1. Rocka Rollas - Conquer(by far the best EP of the year; if you've never heard this EP, listen immediately!)
2. Unisonic - Ignition
3. Air Raid - Danger Ahead
4. Havok - Point of No Return (only adding this so the others get more points; this wasn't very good)

Seems live Converge, Baroness, Cattle Decap, and Death Grips will def be on top.

Also, I tried to get into Title Fight but I can't get into it. Head In The Ceiling Fan is a fucking awesome song though.

I'm not counting any Death Grips votes. Each vote for them is going towards the new Girls Generation album.

You dont dig NLDW that much? First half is great.

The universal opinion is that NLDW is their worst. It's not a bad record, but it doesn't come remotely close to the first two in quality. And there were just a lot of records I thought were way better. I'll agree the first four tracks are awesome along with tracks like Whammy and Bass Rattle Stars The Sky, but there are quite a few tracks I think are mediocre/bad.

For sure, still need to check out his previous stuff again. I didnt listen to much stuff this year so it kinda just made my list. I still need to check out a bunch of 2012 material.

I have a friend who thinks NLDW is their best album. It's also become cool to say The Money Store is their worst album just because it's the most accessible. I wouldn't say NLDW is full of filler. The only track on that album I don't enjoy is Pop.

THE ONLY GREAT DEATH GRIPS RECORD IS EXMILITARY

mastodon421

12-30-2012, 06:40 PM

Exmillitary is by far the worst Death Grips record to me. There is just way too much too much going on and it's really overwhelming to listen to. Don't get me wrong, It's not bad at all, I just happen to like No Love Deep Web and especially The Money Store a lot more.

I don't see how you can thoroughly enjoy The Money Store and find Exmilitary overwhelming.

Exmilitary is my favorite. I like how they're creating such an original sound with mostly sample based beats. Plus it's the most abrasive record. And I'd say a good 3 tracks on NLDW feel like filler. World of Dogs, Lock Your Doors, and Hunger Games are pretty bad.

THANK YOU! And BTW Draw Back A Stump came out last year. They just re-released it this year with 2 new songs.

Yeah I could never find it except a clip on youtube. I finally found it a few months ago in cd form so for me (and maybe most of the world) it wasn't available until 2012.

I honestly thought Exmilitary was just bad. :eyes: World of Dogs was the best/most memorable track on NLDW to me and the only reason I actually even checked out Death Grips.

The Money Store was more of controlled chaos and the beats were way better imo, Exmilitary was just chaos:lol: It also was far rawer than The Money Store and the samples annoyed the shit out of me.

I was curious if anyone would have Kill Devil Hill, Axewound or I Am War. The 3 supergroup/side projects that I really liked this year. I probably liked I Am War the most with KDH a close 2nd. All 3 were really good though I thought...

:eek: Holy fuckballs. Two of these are in my top ten. What the fuck is going on here?!? :confused:

EDIT: Oh, and I PM'ed my list to you, Manks (not that it was necessary for the LP's...:eyes:).

Pm'ing your list instead of just posting it like everyone else is so 2011... hahahaha

I bet most people can pick which 2 you have the same also. I liked both but am a little stoner/sludge'd out... maybe I need to start smoking weed again to have an appreciation for some of this new stuff. Even new HOF never grabbed me. Wouldn't even crack my Top 20

I want to punch everyone who puts their list from 10 - 1 or who put album title before artist. What the hell is wrong with you people.

You're lucky that I got mine in early. I would have totally made random numbering just to see if that Kansas education could figure it out. I'll remember that for next year. :cool:

Approved :horns:

I think you're the only other person I know who checked out Moonless, The Foreshadowing, Threshold, Black Pyramid and Pale Divine.

Yeah, those are all great discs. The Threshold disc took a little while to really sink in because of the vocalist change, but once it clicked it shot right up the list. (The last Threshold disc is one of my all-time favorites.) I have been listening to the Witchcraft disc so much lately, it probably should have been a little higher as well.

I was surprised that Orange Goblin and Graveyard weren't on your list.

Also, The Hounds of Hasselvander disc would have been top 10 for me this year, but it was released in 2011. I didn't check it out in time to add it to my list last year but it is definitely top 10 for 2011. Great disc.
